POINT PLEASANT — Mason County Commissioners haven’t given up on the fight to get the area their own delegate-represented district.

Currently, the redistricting plan has Mason County split into two districts. At this time, Mason County shares the 14th District with Putnam County. Mason County also is part of the 13th District, which is shared with Putnam and Jackson Counties.

While Mason County does make up the majority of the 14th District, commissioners said that they were disappointed that the redistricting process did not enable the county to have their own separate district. During Thursday’s commission meeting, plans to adjust the redistricting decision were discussed. On Friday, commissioners made calls to House Speaker Rick Thompson, Delegate Troy Andes (14th District) and Putnam County officials. Messages also were left for Delegate Brady Paxton (13th District). According to Commissioner Rick Handley, the commission’s current redistricting plan involves switching around precincts in order to give Mason County one all encompassing district.

“Right now there are three Putnam County precincts that are part of the 14th District. We proposed they take one (precinct) and give it to Troy Andes’ district. We would like to see the other two given to Brady Paxton and in turn, give three of his precincts to the 14th District,” Handley said. “With this, the 14th District would be just Mason County — that would be what we’ve wanted since the beginning.”

According to Handley, the commission has already spoken with Jo Vaugh, redistricting coordinator, regarding the plan.

“We talked to Jo just to see if our numbers work out and according to her, they do,” he said.
